What Falls Away by Mia Farrow

5.0

I think this might be the most candid celebrity memoir that I've ever read. Rather than coming off as salacious or attention seeking, Farrow writes as though she's trying to put a very honest lens on her own life in an attempt to arrive at a deeper emotional truth - in many ways more like a diary than a memoir. While I thought I was prepared for the latter chapters about her life with Woody Allen, of course I was not. Seeing his predatory behavior through Farrow's eyes really put the grotesqueness of Allen's actions (with Dylan, Soon-Yi, and really all of Farrow's children) in a new perspective for me.
